Camera obscurer
Camera obscura consists of using a box, tent, or room. The space needs to have a small hole in one side or at the top. Light from the outside passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside, where the scene is reproduced, inverted upside-down and reversed left to right, but with colour and perspective preserved. Camera obscuras was invented even before 400BC. The earliest recording of a camera obscurer was provided by a Chinese philosopher called Mo-Tzu in 400B
Nicephorus Niepce
•Nicephorus Niepce was born on march 7th in Chalon-sur-Saone, France and died on July 5th, 1833 at 68 years old, he went to school at the Oratorian Brothers physics and chemistry were his passion. In 1788 he left The Oratories and enlists in the National Guard in his home town. He is know for capturing the first photograph in 1826 he used camera obscura and pewter plate coated with a light-sensitive material called Bitumen of Judea to capture and fix images. He was also the man who invented the first camera. As well as being one of earliest pioneers of photography.
Louis Daguerre
•Louis Daguerre was born on November 18th in Cormeilles near Paris, During his life he was famous for inventing the first practical process of photography, known as daguerreotype. Daguerreotype was introduced in the world of photography in 1939 and it’s a way to create a highly detailed image on a sheet of copper plated with a thin coat of silver without the use of a negative, this process requires a great care. Photographer no longer use this process because they discovered other ways that way less expensive such as ambrotype.
Henry Fox Talbot
Henry Fox Talbot was born on 11 February 1800 in Millbury, Henry was credited as the British inventor of photography. In 1834 he discovered how to edited and fix images through the action of light and chemistry on paper. He used negatives to make multiple prints and this process resulted in image making. Talbot invented a process for creating light-fast and permanent photographs that was the first made available to the public.
Richard Maddox
Richard Leash Maddox was born on August 4, 1816 in Bath, United kingdom. He was an English photographer and physician who invented lightweight gelatine negative dry plates for photography in 1871. Dry plate are pieces of glass plate that get covered with a gelatine emulsion and get exposed to the light that will then capture an image. The wet plait process was easy replaced by the dry plate process because it was cheaper.
George Eastman
George Eastman was born on July 12th, 1854, New York. He was best known for changing the world through his entrepreneurial spirit, George invented the camera called The Brownie in 1900 he created a series of cameras that introduced the snapshot. The brownie was a basic cardboard box camera with simple convex-concave lens that took 21/4-inch square pictures on NO. 117 roll film. It was a related innovation after he realize that existing photographic equipment was extremely unwieldy. In the 1880s Eastman developed convenient method of preparing ready-to-use plates. Improvement’s let to flexible, roll film as well as photo processing an printing done by mail order.
Digital Photography
Digital photography use camera containing arrays of electric photodetectors interfaced to an analogue-to-digital converter to produce images focused by lens, as opposed to an exposure on photography film, it replicates the process of traditional film photography, but it sues the electric sensor, rather than film, co capture images. Digital cameras are more convenient than film cameras, and because buying and developing is not necessary, it becomes cheaper. Also the picture can instantly be seen on the monitor and if needed retaken.
